Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil & Mexico)
Full text linkEsta nota presenta el proyecto de una investigación doctoral referida a la circulación e implementación de nuevas estrategias de prevención del VIH en Latinoamérica (Argentina-Brasil-México), en particular aquellas ligadas a la Profilaxis Pre-Exposición (PrEP). Para comprender de qué manera la PrEP devino una tecnología asequible, resulta necesario situar la condición crónica de salud que le dio lugar, el VIH y los discursos atenientes a su prevención. Se sostiene como hipótesis de trabajo que la PrEP es una estrategia biomédica de salud global, mediante la cual se evidencia la relación entre programas de intervención trasnacionales, inscripción gubernamental y experiencias subjetivas de los consumidores.This note presents a doctoral research project on the circulation and implementation of new HIV prevention strategies in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil & Mexico), particularly those related to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). To understand how PrEP became an affordable technology, it is necessary to locate the chronic health condition that gave rise to it, HIV, and the discourse regarding its prevention. The working hypothesis is that PrEP is a global health biomedical strategy highlighting the relationship between transnational intervention programs, government enrollment and consumers' subjective experiences.Fil: Maroni, Adriel Jorge.

Different ways of taking care of oneself. How Argentinean gay men negotiate COVID-19 protocols for hooking-up
No full textSince the beginning of pandemics, Argentinean gay men continued to have sexual experiences. However, when doing so, they did not just break the lockdown, but renegotiate care practices. That negotiation was part and parcel of engaging in an ephemeral network of mutual assistance. This paper aims to analyse the heterogeneous ways of caring among gay men who looked for other men to have sexual intercourse during the Pandemic lockdown. Based on 11 in-depth interviews with Argentinean gay men–aged from 24 to 45—, we explore how these men renegotiated COVID-19 care measurements when hooking up during pandemic times. Instead of portraying them as careless, we describe different ways in which they renegotiated caring. Considering those arrangements as tactics and micro resistances opposed to the disciplinary official discourse, we analyse actual practices of care that engaged in an ephemeral network of mutual assistance. The paper is organised into four sections. The first section briefly outlines official sanitary measurements in Argentina, characterised by an early lockdown that lasted several months. The second section describes the qualitative methodological approach of the research. The third section lists the theoretical discussions about virtual dating, hooking up and care practices. The fourth section settles the analysis of the ways these gay men developed their tactics becoming “responsible in their own ways”.Fil: Marentes, Maximiliano. Universidad Nacional de San Martin.

Apuntes de cuarentena II ¿Tecnologías para ser felices?
Full text linkEl escrito propone un análisis sobre cómo las tecnologías del yo viralizadas por los medios de comunicación, en tiempos del Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO) llevado adelante en Argentina durante el 2020 producto de la pandemia de COVID-19, tienen como fin la producción de un sujeto que pueda adaptarse rápidamente a los cambios que se dan en la sociedad y ajustarse, con la misma velocidad, a las actualizaciones de la organización social del trabajo que el presente acontecimiento propone.Fil: Alberti, Cristian Javier.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
